Financial data and explainable AI: A new era in risk management

MindBridge’s technology uses advanced algorithms to analyze vast amounts of financial data, identify patterns, and flag unusual transactions or inconsistencies. This enables auditors and financial professionals to assess controls risk more efficiently and accurately, focusing on the highest-risk areas of the business.

Our latest MindBridge release delivers enhanced insights and transparency, helping shareholders such as customers, investors, regulators, and employees better understand vendor risk, payroll anomalies, expense patterns, and more. Trusting and comprehending the results generated by our AI is crucial for finance professionals for the following reasons:

1. Risk management: As Finance professionals use AI models to predict and manage risks, understanding the reasoning behind AI-generated insights is essential for making informed risk mitigation decisions and validating the robustness of the models used.
2. Trust and confidence: Explainable AI fosters trust among stakeholders, such as customers, investors, regulators, and employees. When finance professionals can explain the rationale behind AI-driven decisions, they can confidently stand by those decisions and communicate them to others.
3. Model improvement: By understanding the analysis, finance professionals can identify areas for model improvement or fine-tuning.

Interpreting unsupervised machine learning models can be challenging due to their complex data representations and patterns. However, several approaches can enhance interpretability:

1. Visualization techniques: Visualizing learned features or patterns provides insights into the model’s behavior, making understanding the relationships between data points easier.
2. Feature attribution: Attributing the importance of each feature to the model’s output can help in understanding the underlying structure of the data. Techniques like Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) can be used to explain the model’s behavior by approximating it with a locally interpretable model.
3. Prototype-based methods: Identifying representative examples or prototypes from the data captures learned patterns, enabling a better understanding of the model’s behavior.

Our latest release includes expanded entry details that employ visualization techniques to help users grasp data relationships. This feature contextualizes assigned risk scores, guiding finance professionals on appropriate actions based on AI-generated information and fostering trust in the results.
